I am definitely still alive and I definitely have a lot of plants in my bedroom. Now, the effect on sanity? Well. We can discuss that some other time. 😅

[@jelenamitrovic9039]

Yup, husband, dog and myself all still alive, and there is a lot of plants there now :D

[@betsybegonia]

Yeah I'm not gonna lie, you may be breaching 5k ppm and some days it's worrying. 😂

A wild Jelena appeared. Wait. Wait wait wait. Are you just Miro in a wig? Is this all a hoax?

[@jelenamitrovic9039]

Thank you so much for the video. I will translate it to every older family member getting hysterical every time they see the number of plants in my bedroom 💜

[@betsybegonia]

Good. Tell them that karakondžule hide in the plants, though. hehe

[@darcyferrigno]

Thank you for doing this. People take one small part of a science fact, use the non science logic with it and then spew fake news. So frustrating. Just think, if this was true, wouldn't someone get sick everytime they camped over night in a dense forest?

[@betsybegonia]

Oh, is that how Into the Wild ends? I haven't seen it.

[@darcyferrigno]

@@betsybegonia Damnit, I didn’t mean to spoil the end of that movie for you! 🤣

[@sunflowerhill4349]

Exactly lol, hard to imagine how we survived all those millenia sleeping outdoors among the plants hahaha!!

[@MateuszDutkiewicz]

Great video! I showed to my wife 😜 She said to me: no more plants in our bedroom, they produce CO2 during night, they will kill us 🤮 Now I have a excuse to buy more of them and she can't argue with me about that anymore. New Hoyas here I am 🪴Thanks 😅

[@betsybegonia]

😂 Glad I could help.

[@consciousconcept6318]

I've seen labels on plant that said that that plant helps against snoring. I feel that's as ridiculous as dying from them by putting them in your bedroom.

[@dylangilmandye1989]

I would love for you to do a video about plants that "purify the air"! I see people talk about it all the time and it's the same thing as this, it happens but it is so insignificant!

[@jaclynns.jungle]

Agreed!!

[@lafregaste]

I would like to know who started the rumor. My mom bothered me at the beginning of my plant-keeping with that rumor, telling me not to put them inside my room, to have a limit of plants, etc, etc. Really, who started it? why? and what kind of "knowledge" did they based their idea ?

[@lydiabradley6344]

I would love to see a similar video about the "plants purify the air" topic. Thanks for helping to dispel misinformation!

[@adrianad.8342]

Hi Betsy! Awesome video!!! Yes please, do a video about air purifying plants!!!! 🤗🪴💜

[@betsybegonia]

Happy to. 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@TchiyaAmet]

I thought that we inhale what plants exhale. And that plants inhale what we exhale..

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

Seriously. If our plants were killing us, I would’ve been dead a long time ago with my thousand plus houseplants. 🤣

[@jameseccleston509]

I usually hate watching sponsorships but for some reason I love watching Betsy’s ones, I never skip them. I think I just trust that Betsy wouldn’t recommend crap I guess:)

[@betsybegonia]

Thank you. I do stick to my guns when it comes to promoting products or sevices I actually stand behind and can use myself.

[@leannegiannini3283]

I don't hear of many people concerned that their CATS are emitting CO2. Presumably they emit much more...and would delight in slowly suffocating us to death. (I actually love cats).

[@colinf2316]

My bedroom is filled with plants, still here!

[@betsybegonia]

Thank heavens.

[@tearalewis7532]

I have always been frustrated by this "fact" when its brought up. I would be so dead in my home decades over if this was a fact. To be honest, i find i breath better in my home full of plants at night, esp my bedroom. Then even in the best hotel. I believe it is my plants (esp the big mature ones) do help.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Betsy! This was really interesting. I hadn't heard this myth before, just the air purifying one. And yes, please, do a video on air purifying plants. I think it would be really interesting. I'm so glad that you seem to really enjoy researching different topics like this because it is not something I'd enjoy at all! It's not my thing! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

Now i know why i wake up every morning with my neck hurting.... My damn dracaenea tries to strangle me every night....👀😂😂😂.... For a while i believed that silly idea and didn't have plants inside my house

[@gurlmadeincanada]

I was on a first time call with a therapist, telling her that I was into plants and had quite a few in my apartment and she goes "oh my becarefull, make sure can you breath" and I thought she was joking 😅

[@maritatripet7480]

I love the clarity of your explanatory videos! Would definitely love to see your video on plants ability to purify air and on plants absorbing CO2 at night.

[@betsybegonia]

Thank you. 💚

[@Wendy-zl8kv]

Thank you for the topic very interesting

[@betsybegonia]

Thank you for watching, Wendy. 💚

[@kristoferhammes6018]

I really appreciate you sharing the science of plants! Keep it up! Love your humor!

[@morenablooms7157]

Yes, do a video on that whole "plants purify the air". The amount of plants needed to even make a slight difference is unreal.

[@roseanderson2191]

Thank you that was really helpful. You explained that extremely well. 💖

[@daniellehinton9607]

Very interesting! Didn’t know people were freaking out about this. 😂 Thanks for all your research and presentation. ❤️

[@naturallycountrymama]

It would be great if you did a video further discussing the air filtering abilities of plants!!

[@molliewoltmann5229]

I may have to buy this pillow. I got a pair of Vessi shoes because of you, and they are as great as you said they are. Hmmm. Also, so happy to see your videos again!

[@betsybegonia]

Well my sleep is restful and my feet are comfy and dry. 😂 I can only recommend it.

[@TheArtofUnlearning]

My boyfriend has been using this ridiculous argument to keep plants out of our bedroom. Thanks to this video I have another room I can plantify!!bwuahahaha

[@bhejc022109]

Thank you for making this video! ❤️ Very informational! 👍🏽

[@wandashaw3551]

Wow, who would have thunk it! Very interesting!😍

[@jaznjaimee]

Would like to know more about plants that are natural air purifiers. Thank you!!! Btw, nice to see you again!!!

[@Katiebug4me]

I've never heard Yucca pronounced like that. Yuck-ah, that's how we say it down here in the Southwest USA. PS it's my state flower. Always enjoy your videos!

[@betsybegonia]

Honestly you're probably right. I just haven't heard anybody say that word in years and that's how it came out of my mouth. 😂

[@Elsa-qk2kw]

My question would be: are we killing plants while we sleep? 😂 it’s funny how there is this saying about plants and not about sharing the room with other humans 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@DAjanapeterson]

Oooh I love these types of videos!! I’m a nurse so I am interested in the science behind our plants. I would love more info. Also wow. Thinking I may need anCO2 meter for my greenhouse!!

[@betsybegonia]

I love having the CO2 reader. I just really enjoy seeing what's going on. I can tell when the plants are "eating" a lot. It helps me figure out my light brightness and schedule as well.

[@DAjanapeterson]

Betsy Begonia I love that!! Thanks!! :)

[@MarioK992]

High Quality Content as always! People could start to calculate now: How many plants would it take to kill a person at night? I think the co2 would be less a problem but more the weight of the tons of plants 😂

[@betsybegonia]

Death by Dieffenbachia.

[@emyalcocer5133]

What if you mix your plants with plants that do the opposite. Like snake plants that emits oxygen at night and emits co2 during the day. To balance some of the needs

[@emyalcocer5133]

I was referring to your cabinet. I forgot to say that 😬

[@betsybegonia]

That's a good question, I'm not sure how much of an impact plants that exercise CAM really have. I will address this in an upcoming video, thank you for asking.

[@riawhetstone3725]

Your breathing into your grow tent comment got me wondering if I should open up the vents of my grow tent 🧐

[@Wildtinyjungle]

Hi Betsy! Awesome video, I've always wondered about this and now I know that my jungle of a bedroom isn't slowly killing me, so thank you, haha. Would love to know more about plants that filter the air! Do they actually filter enough stuff out of the air to be beneficial? Do some plants filter better than others?

[@inkstainedgirl]

based on their silly logic, no one would survive camping in the woods

[@vickiandKi]

You should definitely do the video you were talking about.🤩

Howdy! I just ordered something "sweet" for your feet from your Amazon wish list. I don't trust them with the gift notes, so I just want you to know that you are loved and appreciated in my crazy little California world. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.

[@katbattt]

In actual fact, plants are respiring at all times. I say all, any gas exchange in plants only occurs when their stomata are open (holes in the undersides of leaves) to allow the gases in an out. During the day when there is also sunlight, they photosynthesise. But they are also doing respiration the whole time too. But yeah, if you're worried about something emitting CO2 while you sleep, kick your partners out of bed or open a window lol

[@Laurynzo33]

So for the plants that are struggling and we don't want them to die but don't care either and just can't throw it away, we should dump it in our bedroom at night and let it die quicker😉

[@pierrebouchard4289]

Hoya Lady B. Since you sleep on your side; I have this question for you . Have you ever notice that, when you close your left eye and open your right eye , and , vice & versa ... While sleeping on your side that is, the pillow seems to be moving !!! My question is : WHY ??? Waiting for an answer . Thank you !!! Great video Lady B. ppm's and all ... See you in the next one ... Good night (10:00 P.M. Europe time) ... ✌🙂😴💤

[@jaclynns.jungle]

I wonder how much we're breathing in wearing a mask all day 🪴

[@betsybegonia]

That is very easily Googleable. Research has been done. The answer: not enough to warrant concern. If you're wearing a surgical mask, then absolutely not. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33858372/
